Thermal Imaging Temperature Data

Directions: Use temperature probe (thermometer) to measure and record
temperature data (degrees C) at the locations listed in the chart below.
Location

First Thermal
Analysis (0 Min)

Second Thermal
Analysis (15 Min)

Temperature
change

Solid wall

Window or
door
Corners

Roof line

Constructed Response: Respond to the following prompts on a separate sheet of

loose leaf paper. Format your responses in a paragraph.
1. Define thermal energy
2. Interpreting Data: What does the temperature change in the third column
suggest about the characteristic thermal energy?

3. Describe how your team observed and collected thermal energy data during
testing.
3. Interpret the data (what does the data suggest?)

4. Distinguish which data set was most effective in demonstrating thermal energy
and its motion. (thermal images or temperature data, why?)

5. Explain how thermal energy is connected to you (how do you use & benefit
from thermal energy?)

6. Why is energy conservation important? (2 reasons)
